The Ends

-✘ Well.. Almost two months of absence again. Actually I don't even know where to start because there been so many things in those days. Some things got sold, some things got bought and a whole lot of things have been started, but I will explain everything down below. First things first I need to talk about is my GTR.. And before I start I really want to say big thank you to everyone who supported and voted for me at ROTM August, we took the trophy home this time! I know that the first thing that you notice in the livery.. It is something special with a meaning and story behind it, only a couple of people know the story behind it, but I am sure that you all can enjoy it too! It was done by me and my wife, but mostly her, basically I wanted to make it as unique as possible, the result is so simple and subtle but so beautiful. So anyways, lets talk about other things. I always said that I won't be caging my GTR, and I "didn't" ! Instead I fabricated custom, one of a kind bolt in / weld in roll bar for it, I have template, and one more same cage right now, so if anyone wants MACKAY's R34 Cage V1 hit me up and we will make a deal. Also GTR received Ikeya Formula "treatment" as quite a few suspension parts were installed as OEM ones were no match for current setup, OEM bushings were replaced by poly ones, and OEM swaybars were replaced by NISMO ones. I got Ikeya Formula Rear Upper Arms / Rear Lower Arms and Ikeya Formula Lower Front Arms and Front Upper Links. Also lets not forget other things I fabricated such as Under Brace and Strut bar. ✘-

-✘ And here is how GTR looks today, to your surprise nothing has been changed since ROTM entry, only two sets of R888's tyres, as somehow it got "worn out" I am enjoying it as it is now, maybe new set of wheels or completely new color or wrap will be done in future, I have few more ideas but I am not sure about turning them to reality. I don't know, we will see. And to whoever who thought that I am selling it, sorry it is not happening anytime soon. Soo anyways.. Also lets not forget the fact that this car has been published on Speedhunters.com ! You can read all about it here - "Street car gone to extreme" ✘-

-✘ Another thing that needs to be shown to you guys is my GTT build. I will try to keep it as short as possible and let the pictures do the talking itself. So long story short the car got "boosted" to 500' crank horsepower but I will talk about the specs and parts that went into it sometime later in the future, MACKAY"s treatment as usual, so everything was done by me "overnight" again. The second thing is that the car received completely new look. Radcoon or as I can say Sticky Rice Cake sticker shop did its magic on my GTT, a hotboi drift livery. And yeah, you see that logo on side correctly, am I representing a team? Nah, I have my own. More about that a little bit later. Also lets not forget red under glow or "neons" as cool kids call it for more style points. It is so different from my other builds, everything I did were so simple and clean but with this thing I went completely to the next level I guess. 11K' where you at for some tandems ? Anyways, I am sure that you guys will see more of this car in the future, either in drift events or "underground" scene being driven by "someone" else. Inb4 this becomes second most wanted R34' in Japan. ✘-

-✘ I am more than sure that most of you already seen our teams website, introduction and Narita Dog Fight coverages of our team, our car and so on. So yeah.. Remember when I took that L' with 180SX cause I was alone? You better do because now there is three of us being backed by my whole garage crew and so on, so I can say with confidence that this time I am on the road to W'. I am not going to mix personal stuff with team things, so you can read about everything here. - Icon Motorsports ✘-

-✘ If you are wondering about R33 GTR that I had and promised to keep as a daily driver, then sorry but I am going to (not) disappoint you. The R33 is alredy gone, and I don't even know how much time did I enjoyed it, a week or two tops? Right when I got it everything turned around in my head and a big change of plans came into my mind, also few calls from Russian guys had it's consequences. So not long after that R33 got sold to Erwin for the same price that I bought it.. So didn't lost or gained money with such deal, I just got rid of the car I didn't really needed or wanted because I had other ideas in mind, but now I can say that I owned all "true" GTR's. Also I got rid of that Family Spec F11 and got a replacement.. Yeah, I bought almost brand new 2017 BMW M4.. And the fun fact is that it is currently being used as a daily driver by my wife even tho I got this car with intention of turning it into daily / track car when I will be travelling around Japan for events and so on. Driving such car feels like a dream, it handles well, it is powerful, it is agile and on top of that it has mean sounding twin turbo inline six matched to 7 speed modern DCT, basically you name it this car have it. Basically it has everything you need, the best package you could get in my opinion, even just by taking the glimpse at interior you can understand how good and special that car is. Don't ask me why I did not got and R35 GTR or something of that kind, I just didn't want it, I drove Erwin's one, quite a few before, and there is nothing special to it for me, it does not have same character as this M4, and this M4 is basically all I need. I won't be saying that I will keep this car, time will show, but one thing for sure, I am going to enjoy it as much as I can. ✘-

-✘ Things did not end with M4.. I got another BMW, and this one brings me back to my true roots and my very first car that I owned.. Once you fall for this car you can't get enough, I felt for it more than 10 years ago, and I am all about the thirty sixes' if being honest, somethings never change you know.. It is not an M3 as you are probably expecting, it is 1996 328i with M-Package, also it has probably my all time favorite color which is Techno Violet.. I had an opportunity to buy similar spec E36 when I was 18, but I wasted it, so when I saw an offer for this now I just needed to get it. While talking about M4 I said that I want to turn it into daily / track car, right? But now this plan will be happening with this E36.. I really want to get back into all that "underground" scene which happens very late at night in the mountains or outskirts of Japan cities, get back and get myself reminded of my true roots and the times I had when I was younger, but this time is going to be 100x better because of deep pockets and knowledge that I have, times changed. I already thrown the wheels that it came to scrap yard and put those HRE's that I won in ROTM on it, it fits the look really good as it kinda looks like BBS RC's or something of that kind. And before you ask, no the car did not came with Roll Bar or diffuser, it was the first thing that I did when I got it, two or three days of "working" night shift easily on my own and I fabricated what I wanted. I won't sell or get rid of this car anytime soon, it will be mine as long as I can drive or until I crash it and it becomes unrepairable, just because thirty sixes' has such a sentimental meaning for me.. And this one will get better and better trough my ownership, ain't no stance build, ain't no show car build, just a car which will be used as supposed, to my liking, it is our story now..✘-

-✘ First "touge" run with this car.. The feelings that I got driving it that night on the touge is just incomparable, I can't compare it to M4, or even my GTR, my true thirty sixer' spirit is still in me and this is what I needed all this time, no matter how much I love my GTR or Nissans after all, BMW's takes the special place in my heart.. I already stopped getting goosebumps in my GTR while driving on the wangan, but driving this on the touge is completely another thing for me, maybe because all those memories that I had in E36'es means a lot me.. Ah. ✘-

-✘ Also one more thing about M4.. Basically this is the most recent thing that I did to it or to any of my cars in general. The M4 now sits on R19 Fifteen52 Integrale Classic wheels dressed once again in Triple 8's. I don't know about you guys but I love the look of those wheels on M4, if it looks wrong for you or something, then I am happy about that, because I been upsetting people for as long as I can remember. I do my cars to my liking and it is all that matters. I am already generating ideas and thinking about possible things that I will be doing to it, so we will see.. A lot of potential in this car, even tho I might be getting one more car to accompany this one. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ✘-

-✘ Anyways, a lot of other things are happening on the side.. Due to various reasons I am thinking about possibility of moving to Russia, Moscow if being more specific, but having so much responsibilities and things here in Japan is kinda holding me back, so I can't do anything, not now.. But I will figure everything out eventually. Working so much both in the shop and for myself turned me into something else, and I don't even want to talk about all the other issues I am having these days, no, things did not get better since last time, but I am still pushing it as hard as I can. I also need to talk about other things such as R's meeting we went to with the crew, but I am not sure if I am up to such task, all I could get myself to do is to give insights on what is happening with my builds and personal stuff.. But I am sure that info, pictures from event or something else will be posted soon, either by me or other guys.. Shout out to Erwin even if he is being acting very strange all month, Lagano and Crazy' for awesome things we did, Radcoon for taking most of our team things under his wing, and lets not forget the Tokyo boys - Niatross, AJ and Macaron, I will catch you next time, when odds will be in my favor haha! And to everyone else who I didn't mentioned. So yeah, thats kinda it for now, I don't know when I will update next but I am trying to combine work, personal life, team and shop things as much as I can so.. Anyways, MACKAY off guys.. Peace. ✘-

Damn nice work on that R34! It really has a 2000's vibe, also because of the neons haha. And you got a M4?! I knew that an ordinary BMW wagon wasn't cool enough for you lol. Integrale wheels were a very weird choice but they make the M4 look special! I think they would look even better on your E36, why don't you try that? HREs look super cool on it too but i'm just curious. And that purple looks amazing, i can still hardly believe that it was a factory color!!

Aye the god of forums is back with a really big BANG . Congrats on your ROTM win , your gtr have really unique look especially with that livery . Anyways , your gti looks hotboi as hell , maybe we could go for a little ebisu sesh in the future when i’ll be done with my ZN6 OwO . Sad to see r33 go but damn , that m4 looks AMAZING . Again , great job m8!

Thanks a lot man! Radcoon did amazing job on that GTT, I just did my "final touch" with those neons haha! I guess so, even tho I loved my wagon a lot M4 does it better in every way possible, maybe only lacks space.. But yeah, even tho I have M4 I am already thinking of getting something F' chassis again, but because I have so much projects and plans in my mind I don't know when will it happen.. Also about fifteen52's, yeah they would look good on E36 too, but R19 is way too big for E36'es imo, but I will test fit them someday for sure!

Haha, thanks for good words man, it means a lot to me! We are definitely hitting Ebisu later in the future for sure! Also don't be sad about R33 cause it is in good hands, Erwin owns it, and you can follow its progress there!

#Niatross :
always had a soft spot for M4's
Must say, good choice on everything as usual man!

#Macaron_Moon :
I hope you get over whatever problem you're having, us west capital boys are here if you need any help.

Best wishes mate

Yeah.. Running such business all day everyday and night is putting a lot of pressure on me but everything will be alright, I need to take a break and relax properly.. I know, and I appreciate that man! Thanks!

Tokyo bound adventures next !

#11000rpm :
R34 GTT is coming nicely, it appeals to be more of a drift car now, a set of uras kit could complete the 'hotboi' style. Nice find on BMWs aswell, I have another BMW fella to share some infos

Well i have no idea where to drift at, maybe maze or ebisu...? idk lol, I'll tell you very soon!

Yeah, I was thinking about BN kit at first, but then I decided that I will keep the Nismo kit on it, just because it looks like GTR' haha, it fucks with people minds you know. Hell yeah you have! I don't even remember for how long I been complaining to you that I need E36' in my life and now I have, I guess its been more than a year for sure since I mentioned it to you for the first time haha.

I'm down for anything boi, as long as we doing some next level tandems haha! ♥

And goddamn, 2 new Bimmas! An F82 (One of my DREAM CARS) and a very special E36, goddamn.

Again, you fully deserved to win ROTM and I couldn't have lost to a better rival. Good show!

If you're ever in Tokyo just hit us up man, we'll be there faster than you can say 1996 BMW 328i E36 //M Package Techno Violet hahahaha

Yeah, I got what I truly wanted I guess, even tho I am not using that M4 as often as I would like. I just love both Nissans and BMW's.

It won't be fair to compete in ROTY without your CRX as a rival, you need to enter once again in the future for ROTM, I'm sure you will be taking the W' next time!

Definitely, I guess I will be booking hotel in Tokyo soon just to fuck around and relax like I always do there, and hell yeah I am calling you up guys, we need to get together properly this time, we had so much close calls but never get to know each other properly.

CURRENT RP LOCATION: Leipzig, Germany

That looks really sick! I've really wanting E39s since 11K showed his collection of E36s which is quite rare here in Korea. E39s are waay easier to find, I could probably get 520i for cheap price, who knows

Man, you should go for it! Even tho it might be 520i as you say, they are still fun cars to drive, I remember having fun in 530d'iesels when I was younger haha, boats with decent power! I am sure that you would make it stand out in the crowd!

Ahh man... Crazy things have been happening lately , and what can I say ? I'm having the time of my life with you ! I can't wait to see your reveal on the R34 , even if I see it everyday at work , I can't wait to see what you write about it ! Maybe I'll have to review it again , who knows ?

Hell yeah man, and it will get even crazier soon. I am glad that you are enjoying your time here with us! And about that review.. I don't know, I don't want such publicity anymore I guess.. :rolleyes:

Sin City

Ahh.. Where do I began again? There is so much things I need to talk about.. Before getting into details I want to point out that I am currently on a "break" from work and that I won't be working myself till middle of November even though I will still be spending time in garage. Shop is still open and operates as normal, just don't expect Mackay' to do your stuff. Despite such things some exceptions will be made and is coming soon, but more about that later this week.. So yeah, I been taking time for myself, relaxing, working on my own cars and basically catching up with shit because I didn't had proper "vacation" for almost year and half, basically since I started running business full time. Anyways.. I know that most of you are losing your minds over that last picture I posted of GTR, Huracan and F40, but lets talk about few other things first, which one of them is GTT..

Long story short GTT finally saw some action.. If being honest I didn't took this car for a proper "drive" since I finished building it, and those fuck' arounds in my shop area does not count for me. So not long after my last update I went for a street run with it in the mountains and outskirts of Osaka all alone and on my own. And if being straight with you guys.. I realized how much I have been missing out on such things even though I prefer grip activities over drift ones all day every day. GTT performed just as expected, only few tweaks needs to be done to suspension. No license plate, no registration and all that shit, risking losing your car and being deported out the country just like in good old' days.

But things didn't end after that run even though I was starting to think that GTT has fallen into my drift car curse like X30, E46 and S2K did, four door ER34 is out the picture cause I owned that car for less than a month. Little back story for those who don't know about such thing - I built those cars, and they saw very little action or none at all despite all of them being more than 20'grand builds. Anyways, it is not the case with this car. I managed to sort out the wrong things with the car and I fell in love with once again. I am not gonna lie, that livery and rear spoiler was killing me, even though Radcoon did amazing job creating livery for it, I took it off, liveries is jut not for me as I like simple things. You can also see that I put rear overfenders on it, got it from the same guys that I went to test fit the RB' kit, also I made fiberglass copy of my OEM Nismo fenders and put them on GTT, wheels were powder coated in black, windows and lights were blacked out too.. Ahh fuck, I just love the look of it right now, "if it's ain't white, it's black" - saying which sums up my shit perfectly.

Before we move on to the good stuff lets talk about M4.. Currently, the M4' is serving as a daily car for my wife, yeah, you read it right. But yeah, nothing else has changed on it since last time. M4' is perfect as it is for now. I don't drive it as much as I would like to but I am not complaining as I use my E36' as a daily commuter. The only time M4' sees my type of action is on our night outs when I am driving it, showing off if you can say that in busy streets and being spotted by "pseudo" super car spotters works wonders for me while I am in this car, I do it the way we do it in Russia and so far so good.

Now lets talk about the things you all been waiting for.. Lets get straight to the point. As you can see my GTR has completely changed, it looks like different car now and most of you would not recognize it as Mackay's GTR anymore.. I want my R' to be as low-key and unknown as possible now, because the publicity I received with that livery, my build being published on Speedhunters and things we did at R's meeting made me insane. So now I guess that I joined dark side.. First things you see is obvious, I removed my livery and wrapped the car in gloss black color, tinted all windows, front fenders were replaced by OEM Nismo ones, Mine's carbon fiber mirrors were installed too. But the thing that stands out the most now is new wheels, I replaced my R19 LM's with R19 TE37's SL 9.5J in front and 10.5J in the rear, aggressive fitment as always. But things did not end there as I "downgraded" my RB28'..

I am not lying by saying that I donwgraded it, because I went from HKS GTIII5R turbo to smaller GTIII4R.. But this time to two of them instead of one. So now I am running two top mount GTIII4R's which together can produce up to 1500' Horses. Basically completely new exhaust manifold was TIG welded by me, ECU reprogrammed, intercooler piping was redone too and one more HKS Racing BOV was put on. Because I was aiming for the maximum with this setup I am running on race gas now instead of pump gas, but I can go back anytime for my daily needs, just the numbers won't be as high as on race stuff. If you are wondering about numbers I push now, take a look at the graph, one picture says more than thousand words.

No fancy engine reveal or test, I overhauled the engine by myself once again and no one even knew what I was doing, I did that as low key as possible, my R' is in underground scene right now, or it was, till now I guess, but I don't stress about such things as Wangan settles everything with people who want to take my place there and so far I haven't encountered any threats whatsoever, but who knows who is waiting around the corner, I will be pushing my self on the loop as much as I can and as much as my finances allow me. With new setup I have only reached 330' KM/H because I didn't felt the need to go further, but one thing is obvious, this setup is way more powerful and capable on Wangan. Next on the to do list is sequential gearbox, but I don't feel the need for such upgrade right now as my 6'speed box holds pretty well, also I don't shift that much on Wangan, 5-6'th gear is all I need most of the time. In that time I also met few really cool people, HIGH ROLLERS is the words that describes them best. One is driving a Huracan and other a fuckin F40', yeah F' fucking forty. We gave each other our contacts and stay in touch even to this day, I don't know where such friendship will take me, but I am sure it is gonna be good. Even though my R' is somewhere in 150-200'grand range I feel like I am right where I belong while driving with those guys. I guess I would like to move on to next stage and get something similar myself.. We will see what future brings me.

I know how much you want to see that F40' too, so here it is. Due to many reasons I will keep the owner and all the private information about him out of the picture just for his safety but here it is. As far I know this F40' was crashed badly once, but now it is restored and rebuilt to its former glory, thats why it's black now. It is probably the first time I am admiring true supercar so much, F40' has a special place in my heart. I don't need to talk about it, this car speaks for itself.

Even though a lot of shit has happened in the last couple of weeks there is still a lot more to come as this week I will be doing business related things with guys from Tokyo, also Korean mobsters are coming to Japan too, so I expect a lot of cool shit to go down in every way possible. Ah, I can't wait. I couldn't have chosen a better time to go on vacation. So yeah guys, thats it for now, till later. Peace.

Meanwhile i'm driving the R32 without registration all the time, well it still has the old plate on so it looks kinda legit haha. Your GTT was so nice with the livery but sometimes it's better to keep it simple, i guess. Same goes for your GTR, but knowing how you drive at night i understand why it's black now!

#Lagano :

It's really great to see those collections of R34s! I think I could deal with some payments and get one of used GTTs in Japan and ship it straight away to Korea alongside with our crew members. Can't wait to visit your place

OOOOOOOO so that's what the F40 and Huracan were about. I am NOT disappointed at all. I can only imagine the look on their faces when you left them in the dust in your R34 haha. But damn, the F82 your wife drives is another story, it's on a different level of prestige and engineering. I LOVE

#Niatross :
loving that black on black yakuza vibe on the R34
Also somehow loving how the GT-T looks without a wing XD
Great taste as usual man!

OH AND THAT ORGASMIC F40 AAAAAAAAAAAA

Thanks man! It surely looks good black on black even though I prefer white color, too much attention being all bright and shit, so it was a must.

I would rock wingless look on GTR too but I don't want to lose my downforce haha.

Yeah, F40' is pure sex, wait till I visit you in Tokyo with it one day haha.

Haha, even though our cars have illegal literally written on them old plates still do its job just fine, I still have copy of Japanese paperwork when I owned it, so if something bad happened we would get away with it, so don't worry. Liveries just ain't for me, keeping it simple is the way.

#Soju :

There was even more R34's at one point, but nowadays it is alright too haha! That would be possible, with our connections and stuff we could source decent one either from private sellers or those "tuning shop" dealerships as most of them are in very good condition. Can't wait too man, after Ebisu we will spend some time in Osaka thats for sure!

#RocketBunnyS13 :

Yeah.. Sadly it's not mine. It was a shock for them at first, but now it is all cool, ain't no rivalry between us. Also big thanks about M4! I am sure that I will keep it that way as long as I can, even though I have urges to do something..

#BigSmoke :
The High Roller squad gave me some Yakuza vibes, and your R34 blend in perfectly with them. Also, both the M4 and E36 is sparkling clean :3

Well, I don't really care or know who they are, it is none of my business, all that matters is that we are friends with each other and such connections helps. Thanks for good words about my cars man, appreciate it!

I will try to do it as soon as possible, because as you know I am working 24/7 in the shop once again, so yeah..

#Bad.Compqny :
Man a lot of JP goodness there.If i may add in my 2 cents....The M4 looks hitious on them wheels.It's a M4 not a VW Bettle

It is GOOD STUFF house. What works for me, won't work for you and vice versa, so you know.. I enjoy how it looks, and I won't go for anything else now, what was I supposed to do? Get some kind of overpriced shit HRE's?
